Absolutely brilliant concept that falls within the context of the show&#39;s idea.<br /><br />Being a Whovian purist, I wish they wouldn&#39;t have touched it (because this story is the greatest of all time), but hell, a great idea that was well executed in the audio story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789262377783653415.post-60335859238094582392017-01-25T08:04:56.132-08:002017-01-25T08:04:56.132-08:00&quot;His redemption is, in essence, to break from...&quot;His redemption is, in essence, to break from his fall from grace by becoming truer to his core nature than ever before... which kills him, but also saves him.&quot;<br />_________________________________<br /><br />...and that&#39;s the point.

Well done. I look forward to reading your whole catalog of writings Who-related. <br /><br />&quot;I&#39;m proud of you.&quot; :)<br /><br />-Chris from Toronto, Canada.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789262377783653415.post-84159714112481792802013-01-04T12:13:41.650-08:002013-01-04T12:13:41.650-08:00Great blog- very well-said and very true.
Funny, I...Great blog- very well-said and very true.<br />Funny, I got a different resonance from the Doctor&#39;s death; I agree that Adric was his motivation, but thematically... I see this as the end of a trilogy, beginning with the Dalek story (where he picks up a gun and is about to execute Davros) and Planet of Fire... in which, to beat the Master, he starts acting like the Master- especially his verbal abuse and destruction of Kamelion. It was (very much coppied by RTD and the end of the Tennant Era, holding off regeneration and all) a fall from grace, a descent to a dark place- and this his thematic redemption as he returns to the compassionate place that he used to reside in, so purely and wholly that he carries it to te level of selfless self-sacrifice. His redemption is, in essence, to break from his fall from grace by becoming truer to his core nature than ever before... which kills him, but also saves him.<br /><br />Just my two cents on it.
